Many in the local music industry have backed PromoWest, while many local leaders have backed the symphony, including the Joint Banks Steering Committee.

Portune said they haven't made a decision yet and that's it's an "open playing field."

"What I'm trying to do is establish for today that we make sure we have the maximum opportunity to receive public comment, for the public to not look at this as a decision that has already been made," Portune said. "Because it hasn't."
